What This Blog Covers

Most homeowner plumbing questions don’t need a $400 service call. Some do. The blog is where we walk through the difference, what to try yourself, when to call us, and what East Texas conditions (hard water, clay soil, mature pine and oak roots, older housing stock) mean for the systems in your home.

 

Posts are written by Nicholas, a Texas Master Plumber (RMP 41912) with more than 35 years of field experience, or by team members under his review. Practical advice based on actual jobs we run across Nacogdoches, Angelina, Shelby, San Augustine, Rusk, and Cherokee counties.

I called them Friday and they said they’d be out first thing Monday morning and they were here by 8:30. They did high quality repair work on pipes and replaced two sink facets. It looks so much better than before and works like there was never an issue. The best part of this review is they were REASONABLE on charges. Highly recommend!
